So... I read the new news from WL. I think it makes a lot of sense for Paizo to do this, but it is a bit frustrating..
I have been signed up for their subscriptions for a short while. I have really enjoyed getting their physical documents as well as PDFs. But I have not been doing that for too long. I bought both of their Adventure Path's that have been Anniversary Editions. Both Rise of the Runelords and their newer ones. But I bought them both at a local Game Shop. Which is usually a really nice thing to do. They tend to cost more but are bought local, which is really nice. But it does not come with any PDFs.. So for me to get the, hopefully soon to be released, content market for Realm Works, I will need to buy the PDF for Rise of the Runelords? If I had bought it straight from Paizo I would already have the PDF, but since I bought it at a local shop I don't get it? Is there any process to get those PDFs if we already own the physical books? Even if they where recently bought? Or am I just out of luck and need to buy the $41.99 pdf along with whatever it costs on the content market. |

I did a bit of digging around. I found this forum post: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2q00l?Di...cal-copy-owned
Just disappointed, more than anything. Having just bought them. Well time to go buy PDFs I guess |

Should have bought the Pathfinder Humble Bundle packs...
If I had known this was the stance I would have stocked up just in case.

Can't say I'm terribly pleased with this and I own PDF's of all or almost all of the Paizo products I'm likely to want to buy for RW. One glaring exception is the CRB. I've stuck with my physical copy of that for years. Now I'll need to get a PDF for no reason at all.

I love that AP and have run parties through it several times in the decade since it came out. There is simply no way I'm spending $42 to get the PDF just so I can get the RW version at likely another $30. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

I am not sure what the differences are between the older versions and the Anniversary, but now that I seem to have a truckload of time on my hands, I can start entering the old ones manually. It's very very disappointing, and I am hoping BJ and the team are going... Oh S***T at the backlash. |

I personally like how they're doing the Pathfinder licensing. For those without the PDFs, you get something out of the content licensing cost. For those who own the PDFs already you're not paying as much for the content in a new form. It's better than what you get for WotC's 5e digital content elsewhere, as far as I can tell. Maybe not great for folks who only have the physical book or who have legitimate PDFs from outside Paizo's system, but it's better than nothing.
In addition to the mechanics changes mentioned earlier, they rewrote some parts of it. (The final battle, for example.) Last edited by Parody; February 7th, 2017 at 05:47 AM. Reason: I cut across threads. :( |
